The first Greek school of Monastiri was founded on 1830 from N. Varnavas. This school initially consisted of 8 grades, 5 of primary school and 3 of Greek. The first graduates were teachers in other educational institutions in the mid 19th c. like in the central Primary school, in 2nd Primary school in the quarter of Meshar Mahala and in the 3rd Primary school in Arnaut Mahala.
In 1851 came into operation the private school of the known geographer/historian Margarites Dimitsas, having 80 students. Some of the teachers were Anastasion Piheon, Serafeim Matlis and N Chalkiopoulos.
In 1865 its operation stopped due to many other Greek schools in the area of Monastiri. During 1869, Monastiri had in total 7 Greek schools with 1080 students. 3 years later we had 1200 students.
